Textbooks
A listing of all required textbooks for all courses being offered at Saint Raphael Academy for the 2011-2012 academic year can be found here.
Students are responsible for making sure that they have all the required books for the courses that they are scheduled to take prior to the start of the academic year.
Current students were given a listing of the courses they are scheduled to take for the 2011-2012 academic year during exam week (if a current student failed to pick up their course listing during exam week, then it was mailed home with the student’s final report card).
New incoming students were given a listing of the courses that they are scheduled at the New Student Welcome Night held in May. For students who register after the New Student Welcome Night, their course list will be mailed to them. If you are a registered student and do not have your course list yet, please contact the Admissions Office as soon as possible to obtain it.
Once a student has a copy of their course list, then they simply have to refer to the textbook list to see which books they will be expected to have for the start of the academic year.
If you are a resident of Rhode Island, your city or town will provided textbooks for subjects: Math, Science, Foreign Language, Social Studies, and English. (“State Books” are marked as such on the textbook list.) If you are a resident of East Providence, Pawtucket, or Providence, these “state books” will be given to you at the August Orientation. If you are a resident of any other Rhode Island city or town, you must pick up these “state books” yourself by contacting the appropriate city or town office. A full listing of where, when, and how you can pick up your “state books” can be found here. Most cities and towns require you to order “state books” by July 1.
Please note that Rhode Island cities and towns will not provide you with certain books (for instance, books for Theology Classes, workbooks, and other reference books). These books can be purchased online from Follett Virtual Bookstores.
If you are a resident of Massachusetts, all books must be purchased and can be purchased from Follett Virtual Bookstores.
The Follett Virtual Bookstore for Saint Raphael Academy will be open for business as of July 23, 2011.
More information about Follett Virtual Bookstores can be found here.
